Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I’m taking part in the TCS 2026 London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK and would really appreciate your support! 

My Dad was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's and has benefited from medication and nursing support and guidance. So I've decided to support this charity on my marathon exploits this year.

Please help by sponsoring me with whatever you can. The money raised will help fund groundbreaking research and change the lives of the Parkinson's community.

Jon There are different levels of madness and insanity. Training for and actually doing a marathon are without doubt one of the most extreme forms. Make sure you have 7 hours of decent "old codgers" music ready. Enjoy???? Paul R
